About the series
During the early 1950s, Marvel (then Atlas Comics) published this 14-issue Cold War espionage series, Kent Blake of the Secret Service. Scripted primarily by Hank Chapman and Richard Kahn, with art by Joe Sinnott, Bernie Sills, and Tom Gill, the strip followed a dashing government agent through a mix of spycraft and action-adventure. Though short-lived, it stands as a snapshot of pre-superhero Marvel, when the company leaned into genre tales of intrigue and patriotic derring-do.
